R30016 Cobalt vs. ASTM Grade HD Steel

R30016 cobalt belongs to the cobalt alloys classification, while ASTM grade HD steel belongs to the iron alloys. They have a modest 33% of their average alloy composition in common, which, by itself, doesn't mean much. There are 27 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (9, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is R30016 cobalt and the bottom bar is ASTM grade HD steel.
